Jan H Lim

Jan Lim is a Singapore-based textile artist.
She works primarily with natural fibres such as cotton,
linen, ramie, and silk, hand-dyeing and weaving them to
create textured surfaces and formal compositions.

Having graduated with a degree in architecture, Jan uses her artistic
practice as an extension of her curiosity about structure, materiality and form.

In drawing inspiration from both traditional Japanese ikat techniques
as well as modern-day hand-weaving practices, she seeks to explore in
her works the tensions between self-imposed discipline and free textural
expression, and to express through these tensions the idiosyncrasies
of life and our relationship with the anomalous.
